Which is the most popular engine in the Skoda Superb?

Diesel engines have been among the most popular because of their efficiency. The only diesel engine available with the newest lineup is the 148bhp 2.0 TDI, which is rated at around 57mpg. However, there is a variety of used earlier models with a range of different efficiencies and power outputs.

Which are the most popular model variants?

New Superb models come in three variants: SE Technology, SEL and L&K. The SEL tends to be the most popular as the mid-range option. This model has a leather interior, LED matrix headlights, ventilated front seats with massage, and an electrically operated boot.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Along with heated front seats (standard on the newest lineup), heated rear seats are available for back seat passenger comfort. A park assist system with an area view camera can help immensely when travelling in the city, and the upgraded stereo system is a must-have for any music enthusiast.

Is the Skoda Superb a good family car?

Few cars offer as much interior space and boot space as the Skoda Superb, making it a great option for families. A large amount of equipment is also available, allowing for a lot of personalisation.

Is there a hybrid version of the Skoda Superb?

Skoda offers a plug-in hybrid Superb with a 1.5-litre petrol motor that produces 201bhp. It uses a 25.7kWh battery that provides up to 62 miles of electric-only driving.

Is the Skoda Superb available as an automatic?

Yes, the automatic transmission models are far more popular than the manual gearbox variants. Customers will have no problem finding a used Superb with an automatic transmission.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

Yes, Skoda has made several variants of the Superb with four-wheel drive, though most models have standard front-wheel drive. For customers who need added capability and traction, four-wheel drive is a good option to look for among used Superb models.

Different generations of used Skoda Superb

The Skoda Superb first arrived in 2002 as a stretched-out Octavia, but the model achieved a lot of success. Now in its fourth generation, Skoda has proven that an affordable car can also offer a lot of space and standard equipment. Its modern design and spacious interior continue to make it a viable contender in its segment.

Fourth Generation (2024 to Present)

Continuing with the cube design, the new Superb had a similar look to the Skoda Octavia, its smaller counterpart. Still, the longer-wheelbase Superb did have some styling differences, such as the sharper headlight design that had two LED blocks situated inside and special daytime running lights that worked with the indicator lights.

The cabin had an elegant design and features that weren't found in other budget-friendly cars. Skoda also released some new powertrain options, ensuring a good mix of performance and efficiency.

Third Generation (2015 to 2023)

Sharing a platform with the Volkswagen Golf and a number of other vehicles, the Superb was one of the largest models available. From the front, the wide grille with angular headlights were easy to see. There was also a second air intake added to the lower bumper for better cooling.

During a 2019 facelift, Skoda added full Matrix-LED headlights and an extended bumper for improved aerodynamics. There were also new tech features added, and there was more space in the boot and cabin.

With the release of a new generation, Skoda used the Passat wheelbase, but the styling was completely different from before. Its twin-door boot opening was among the most talked about features, allowing for the opening of the luggage compartment without or with the back windscreen.

By 2013, the Superb was ready for a facelift. This included new adaptive bi-xenon headlights and upgraded LED daytime running lights. Engine options were also revised to ensure better efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions.
